10 Comic Book Plots That Will Never Be Resolved

Superman: Grounded was a storyline that saw the Man of Steel trek across America in an attempt to reconnect with its people. It's an interesting concept but in execution it was the story of Superman acting like a smug and condescending jerk, humblebragging his way across the United States. It's a story so bad that its original writer J.

Michael Straczynski left halfway through and his replacement Chris Robinson retconned most of the plot as being due to mind control before the story had even finished.

The story ends on an interesting note though. After re-committing to protecting the people of America, Superman decides to recruit a team of heroes to help him and reforms the obscure 90's group the Supermen of America. The idea was that members would be spread out all across America and would act as Superman's support network, allowing him to better help all of the US, not just Metropolis.

Members included Superman supporting characters Steel, Superboy and Supergirl, Iron Munro, a WWII hero who Superman claimed was his inspiration, Native American hero Super-Chief and, most interestingly, electrically powered former villain Livewire, who now wore Superman's old containment suit from the Electric Superman period.

The group had a lot of potential (especially Livewire, badum tsh), but before any of it could be explored, they were wiped out of existence by the New 52 reboot.
